Adobe Firefly’s Generative Fill is an excellent tool for manipulating your images. Here’s how to use it.

Have you ever wondered if you could change the type of shirt you wear in a picture to something else with basic prompts? Or make you wear a hat in a picture where you’re wearing none by typing a few words? It sounds like magic, but it’s not; it’s called Generative Fill and is available in Adobe Firefly. 

Adobe Firefly is Adobe’s generative AI image tool that can do many things, including text-to-image, generative fill, text effects, and generative recolor. 

With the generative fill feature in Adobe Firefly, you can manipulate a part of the image you upload and change it the way you want using text prompts. It differs from the text-to-image generation found in tools such as Midjourney or Dall-E 2 because it lets you upload your image to the tool, select part of it, and replace it with anything you type the prompt for. 

This article discusses how you can use the Generative fill feature in Adobe Firefly.
